More than 50 teams play pétanque (the French game of boules) in Rutland every Tuesday evening in the spring and summer. Most are based at our splendid local hostelries. The league was established in 1993 with nine teams and has been growing ever since. It now has 5 divisions of 10 teams each, 3 local divisions, Division 1 and a Premier Division. We also hold the Greene King Cup and the Turner Plate Competition, in which all teams play, which is played during the season. Pétanque is a game which all can enjoy at any age and with any level of skill and the equipment is not expensive. Usually all that is required is a set of three matching boules which can be acquired from any good sports shop.	With the end of the season I thought a little something to remind you all of summer might be appreciated!
